This is the Top Gear Awards 2002, the last "episode" of Old Top Gear, as the next one would be the very first episode of restarted Top Gear, broadcast on the 20th October 2002.
Production code: LFEY636K
From notable people, it features: the late great former F1 commentator Murray Walker, Alvin Hall, Mitch Johnson (narrator), car designers Richard Seymour & Dick Powell, car psychologist Conrad King, Johnny Herbert, Todd "Eastenders" Carty, footballer Andy Cole, hairdresser Nicky Clarke and prince Naseem Hamed.
With this start of Top Gear uploads, here is what I'd like to best call it as the "Top Gear Fun Fact" - each episode will have one related to its production or behind-the-scenes work. Stuff like that.
Top Gear Fun Fact: Jason Barlow was tested for being a Top Gear presenter on the rebooted show, and from Jeremy's own words, it just "didn't gel". As a result, Barlow remained on the Top Gear Magazine and did Motor Show 2002, as well as two series of Wrong Car Right Car with fellow Top Gear Magazine used car expert Dominic Littlewood. First episode of Series 1 of WCRC aired on the same day Driven's Sweden Special aired, on the 28th February 2002.
RIP Murray Walker; 1923-2021
